Apple retail stores will start offering Apple Watch Basics workshops on April 24 so you'll be up to speed on how to use yours when it arrives. The workshops are available in Apple retail stores in countries where Apple Watch is available.

You'll need to sign up to attend the workshops, and TMO's quick checks for several stores in the United States shows they're filling up fast. Luckily, the workshops are available in weekends as well as weekdays, and it looks like they're running a few times a day, too.

Apple Watch pre-orders started on April 10 and the company quickly sold so many watches that ship dates were pushed out to June. The company's new smartwatch was originally supposed to be available in stores on April 24, but demand is high enough to kill that plan.

Instead, Apple Watch sales will be online only during the launch phase. Apple hasn't said how long that will last, but the latest indications are pointing to June.

The Apple Watch Basics workshops are free and open to everyone. You can sign up at the Apple retail website, or through the Apple Store app on the iPhone and iPad.
